Two little kittens were playing happily by themselves until I sat down with computer on my knee ... now they are trying to play tag on my lap. Sigh ..... (I love it really). But this is the reason this blog has got off to such a slow start as its hard to concentrate under such circumstances. It's taken a week but Mingus has started to play with the kittens. He bounces at them and they bounce back. Yesterday one was playing with his tail while the other was patting at his ears. I will try and capture another such moment and post it for all to enjoy.

My mind has gone blank but if I just keep rambling on, something interesting might make its way via the keyboard to the screen.

Received a lovely surprise today from a very dear friend. She remembered I love Christmas and all that goes with it, and sent me some lovely glass decorations for the tree. Beautiful. Thank you Kay. Even though I dont have a tree up this year, I will find somewhere to display them. I really love glass and wish I had more room to display it at home. I have had to put some of my glass collection away while the kittens are so silly but if I had a choice, I would have twice as much out in my living area.

One day I want to turn a spare bedroom into a treasure room - displaying all the things I love but can't put out in the living area because of space restrictions. It will be like a little treasure trove and somewhere I can sit and just enjoy all the special bits and pieces. Many of these have been gifts from loved friends and family.

It's raining again - I am more than ready for some summer! What has happened to the lazy hazy days of summer we used to know when I was just a kid. I remember going swimming from Labour Weekend onwards.

Will have to stop typing for now ... Mister Norris has fallen asleep on my right arm with his head snuggled under my chin. Missy Molly is on my knee. More later
